Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Erin Wallace Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

You could be focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
